lMS: x.xxU T25.1 °COK
Note:
1) To measure the moisture by this way, users must calibrate the instrument first, to establish the pertinence
chart quantificationally between water activity and moisture against user sample. Once calibrated, you just
need to select the right channel each time to test the relavant samples(need not to calibrate every time).
2) After Direct Insertion test, clear the residential solvents.Using suitable mild solvents, such as gasoline,
benzine, toluence etc, to wash the sensor if the liquid sample is erosive to the sensor before storage;
2.4. sMoisture Measurement

ERH Technologically
sMoisture is always indirect test for high water content moisture for solids, powder samples with MS2123-Clamp
Kit, MS2123-Poke,MS2123Lance. Or trace solids’ moisture test with MS2123-Vap Kit.
Also this method can be used for liquid test as well, if so, do not direct sink the sensor into the sample, but keep
about 1-5cm air space upon the sample
Fill sample into the sample holder;

Put on the cap;
Power On to start
Aw:x.xxx C#
sMS: x.xxU T25.1 °C
After 3-5 mins, the data will be stable for

most cases, then LCD would indicate
Okay, to fix test
Aw:x.xxx C#
sMS: x.xxU T25.1 °COK
Note:
To measure the moisture by this way, users must calibrate the instrument first, to establish the pertinence chart
quantificationally between water activity and moisture against user sample. Once calibrated, you just need to
select the right channel each time to test the relavant samples(need not to calibrate every time).
For clean solid particles test, you can directly insert the sensor into sample stack. Otherwise use indirect way to
test. Be aware, you must keep the same way to calibrate and test.

5. Preparation for Operation

1) Assure well charged or with enough energy in the cell. Once complete charge needs to be lasting to 6
hours.
2) Connect all the necessary parts.
3) Switch the power on, and watch if the LCD is displaying normally. For humidity parameters, it will
directly show the test results. If for liquids or solids, it usually start from testing, while displaying the
water activity at the beginning, then alarm “OK” and display the test results. All these routine depend
on the setup and calibration state or history.
4) If the LCD displays gradually to low strength of light, you should charge the battery.
5) If still not normal after charge, maybe you should check something wrong in connect or setup.
6) If still not display, however try, maybe you should check other reasons.
7) If normal, check if the test result is in coincide with the environ humidity, that the data you can get by
other way. If not too exact, you might consider to check (by “Init Sensors” inside of the <SETUP>
function)), if the set data is the same with the data attached. If not, you can input it. If still not accurate
enough, you have to calibrate it.
If you found the trouble that you can not solve however, please contact with our engineer for help.

Using key value to index the functions:
There are 4 valid functional setup routine here involved
1) Calibrate: there is the entrance to buildup the user favored data convert program. 2DC insertion table is
employed in the MS2100 program. For further comprehension please refer to Appendix 6.1. Refer to 6.1.
Calibrate for details of operation procedure.
2) Chart Initialize: this is to zero the selected channel before calibration. The data established via initialization
is not assured to be correct. Refer to 6.4. Initialize the Chart..
3) System Information: this is to flush the EEProm memory for available, must executed at startup in plant.
User can use alterable “Delete” function in Calibration program instead of this operation. Some time
experienced or user defined data might be initialized
4) System Setup: Functions to setup alarm point and output range, refer to “Alarm&output”; to input sensor
basic data or device control parameters, refer to "DeviceCtrlSetup"; main sensor calibration,refer to
“PrimarySensorCal"; Temperature sensor calibration, refer to "TempSensorCal"; Pressure sensor calibration,

6.1. Calibrate
Step Operation Outline:
z If first time to calibrate, you need to setup some necessary parameters for your application to current
channel;
z Then you can execute calibration with samples according the guide of LCD clew. Refer to step instructions
following
Utility Direction
z When you want to start to use or give up one Calibration chart, you need to <Delete> the old chart data at
first.
z You need 2 samples and implement twice times to calibrate one new chart at least to start one new channel.
The more samples calibration pint to be established, the higher accuracy were expected. But always to keep
it as simple as possible. It means, only if 2 points calibration could not satisfy your test, then insert one more
point again. The exact valued standard sample calibration results might be overlaid after repeated.

Starting Calibrate Operation

Case 1:
First time to calibrate, or if the chart at current channel was deleted in last operation, the LCD will clew to select
the test parameters.
Set Parameter:
Para:12345678 61-1
Also you can direct select by number if you remember the parameter code.
If current number >8, then you have to key the new number(the <PgDn> and <Clear> not work in this case)
If for gMoisture configuration, it would reminds: RelativeHumidity, WpartialPressure, VolumeRatio, HumidityRatio,

VolumePercent, SpecificHumidity, AbsoluteHumidity, Dew Point, Enthalpy.
You can select any one from above list to test in any channel.
gMS2100 initialized as Chart 1=RelativeHumidity; Chart 2=WpartialPressure; Chart 3=VolumeRatio; Chart

4=HumidityRatio; Chart 5=VolumePercent; Chart 6=SpecificHumidity; Chart 7=AbsoluteHumidity; Chart 8=Dew
Point.
If configured to test other parameters, LCD direct goes to following window
If you want to change parameter existed in this channel, you should delete chart data first;
Refer to “6..1.5. Test Method Selection Routine” for further operation instructions. When first time to
calibrate.
After finished first time setup(Return from “Set Parameter”), LCD prompts
3>UseInitialData
1>GoOn Calibrate 61-2
Select <1> to start first sample calibration; refer to “1.1. Calibrate with Sample”
Key<3 > to give up first calibration this time, and use the initial data.
Note:
z As to gMoisture configuration, the initial data is very exact, do not calibrate it unless obvious errors found.
z If you test water activity, also not to calibrate here, unless you can not correct the humidity sensor itself.
Case 2:
If second time afterward to calibrate the same table chart, system would clew to
1>Append C%d 61-3

2>Del
Case 3:
If third times later to calibrate the same table chart, system would clew to
1>Append C%d
2>Del 3>Zerooffset 61-4
If you want complement the last chart with new samples, please key <1>
If you want clear the old chart, please key <2> to delete it
If you only want to zero the existed chart with one standard “Zero” sample, key <3>
Also, if you want to change the paramter of calibration chart in current channel, u need to delete the table first, then
reentrant from normal ‘SETUP’ to setup the test mode.
Attention:
1) Zero function is not recommend to startup, unless you are dealing very complex curve calibration convert for
moisture of special materials. For most case 2DC is more easy to start, 2 points calibration can get quiet
good accuracy, especially for MS2123 sensor.
2) But convert from water activity to moisture needs more point to be exact.

CH# is the chart number you are calibrating now

STD# is the serial order of sum numbers you calibrated till now
x.xx is the value of the standard you just input
y.yy is the value of ADC or basic converted data. This is internal data in CPU. (If ADC value it is just numbers to
scale the signal of sensor, not hints any physical meanings. But if buffered sensor application, that also means
basic data specially). Do not try to change it, but check if it is changing with sample variety in specially law, along
your calibrating history.
When the sample condition fixed, the ADC data should be more and more being close to stable. Then you can
click <ENTER> to finish the calibrate.
Then system will display the recorded data
CH#STD#: OK
Sx.xxx; Ay.yyy 611-5
If it is correct as you memory, that you have done well of one sample point calibration.

7. Maintenance
7.1. Detector cleaning
If you found abnormal response or slow reaction happened, might be the sensor was wrapped with some dirst.
Then you can clear it with mild solvents that can dissolve the contaminants if you know what they are. Such as
Ethanol, toluene, acetone, gas, kerosene, diesel oil etc can be used.
You can use cotton soaked of the solvents to scrub the surface of sensor softly.
If you have to use severe solvents. Do not be immerged for long time. Better use Ethanol to wash it after
clearance. And dry it as soon as possible.
Afterwards, you can blow it to be dry, but assure that the temperature would not be higher than 80 ºC.
7.2 Battery replacement

The life of battery is 1000 times charge in normal conditions. Better not to interrupt charging before enough 6
hours. Or it will reduce the life of battery.
7.3.Power Supply and Battery Charger

User can charge the battery with 12 V DC supply /adapter. Each time started, better keep continuous charging till
6-8 hours. Charge times will reduce battery life. Generally 1000 times for standard battery life.
The instrument can run test while charging.

DC 9-12V supplied via the lower PCB Mounted Socket(2.1mm Pin Diameter). Where the center is GND, and
outside is positive.
The supply and charge connect route is as following

220/110 V AC AC to DC converter to 9-12 V DC Analyzer
Pay attention to the polarity of the socket, especially when you use another local standard adapter. Before you
use another adapter that not from BDTI, please verify the polarity with multi-meter, and judge if it matched. If
reversed, please cut the wire and swap the line. Then test and start to use.
8. Troubles and Remedies

8.1. Signal Check: Confirming temperature compensation effective and MS sensor voltage correct.
8.2. Wiring and Connect Check: Confirming probe output（Input of HBD3）
8.3. Troubles Shooting:
9. Adjustment after Detector Replacement

The sensor employed is long time stable type. It is offset might inside of 1% in 5 years.
But if the sensor was damaged by accidence, you have to exchange it.
You must input the new data for new sensors, which always should be attached with order. And if you lost it, you
can ask our support for help. As well, you have to delete the old calibrated chart and calibrate again for your 2DC
applications.

Appendix 1. Measurement theory

Water is Activity Definition
Water activity Aw (or equilibrium relative humidity %ERH) measures the vapor pressure generated by the
moisture present in a hygroscopic product.
Aw = p / ps and %ERH = 100 x Aw, where:

p : partial pressure of water vapor at the surface of the product
ps : saturation pressure, or the partial pressure of water vapor above pure water at the product temperature
Water activity reflects the active part of moisture content or the part which, under normal circumstances, can be
exchanged between the product and its environment.
Water activity is usually defined under static conditions of equilibrium. Under such conditions, the partial pressure
of water vapor (p) at the surface of the product is equal to the partial pressure of water vapor in the immediate
environment of the product. Any exchange of moisture between the product and its environment is driven by a
difference between these two partial pressures.
Accelerated water activity measurement in typically 5 minutes

Conventional water activity measurement with automatic detection of equilibrium. It lasts 10-60mins for various
samples
ERH Moisture Analysis

First user must calibrate the instrument with the saturated sample at beginning. The data would be recorded by
analyzer for future usage. Then for high moisture application, the analyzer can calculate the moisture directly by
the measured activity data.
But for trace moisture analysis, user need to order MS2123-Vap Kit. By heating the sample and measure the
difference of partial pressure of water vapor at the surface of the sample, to calculate the moisture content.
Water Activity Testing Mode

The HBD5MS2100NC is a battery operated water activity Analyzer with a single probe input. It features three
operating modes:
Smart: accelerated water activity measurement with automatic end of measurement.
Normal: conventional water activity measurement with automatic detection of equilibrium and automatic end of
measurement
Standard: water activity and temperature measurement, limited to just indicating the values and the trend of the
values
Vap: Vap way is one special creation to gauge trace moisture

Appendix 2. General Standards

You can get chemical pure materials as following to be standards for you instrument calibration or
correction.
Saturated Solution Water activity Humidity
MgCl2 0.328 32.8%
K2CO4 0.432 43.2%
Mg(NO3)2 0.529 52.9%
NaBr 0.576 57.6%
CoCl2 0.649 64.9%
NaCl 0.753 75.3%
KBr 0.809 80.9%
(NH4)2SO4 0.81 81.0%
KCl 0.843 84.3%
Sr((N)3)2 0.851 85.1%
BaCl2 0.902 90.2%
KNO3 0.936 93.6%
K2SO4 0.973 97.3%
Preparation for Standard Samples:

Get 10g about of chemicals as above listed. Slush it, but not let the samples hold obvious water bead. Then use it
as samples for correction or calibration of instrument.
Or you can consult your local Standard Institute for consultation.
Appendix 6.1. 2DC Calibration Table

Standard Data of Samples S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8
ADC data or Basic Professional
Data
By calibrate use can establish the data for the table. Then CPU can convert data according to the insertion
principle.
Standard Data of Samples: is always got by industrial standard analysis method of the sample. Anyway it is
arbitrary, user can make it whatever useful.
ADC data or Basic Professional Data: this item is varying with different parameters. Before calibration of the
2DC table, user was asked to setup the parameter to test first. Then this item would be automatically defaulted.
